Chess Championship

It’s back – Chess Championships! – We are proud to confirm that are our annual Chess Championships will be held on Saturday 27th November. The championship will be in collaboration with Sky Chess, Ezgu Amal and schools in Tashkent. We know how much BST and other students across the city love chess, so we are delighted that once again, the Chess Championships will provide a platform where the best can really shine and be recognized and rewarded for their genius. 

This year BST and Sky Chess are hosting our second Chess Championship for charity on Saturday 27th November. The tournament is open to all young people from ages 8 – 18, with local and international schools each bringing their two best players. We hope to have 70 participants, with each participant paying an entry fee of 100,000UZS. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Ezgu Amal Foundation to fund chemotherapy for children in the Krakalpakstan region.
